New Enclosure project

They should be fine to mount. Just use screws with a nut on the back or short screws that won't go through the MDF. Is that bottom part big enough for a beardie??

 

yea it a big unit, pleanty space for a beardie...especially my baby beardie thats going in there

 

The UV light seems to very high, you need to make sure your bearded dragon can within 6" of the bulb.

 

thats awsome! what are you putting in the two top ones?

 

well my beardie is going to have his favourite piece of driftwood in there. so he will be high enough...my auzzy frilled is going in the big top one and the other top one is going to have my female veild.

 

wow thats amazing!!! great work! how do you install a incandescent fixture/where do you buy the fixtures

 

thanks, i went to home depot for the new floresant fixture ends and just mounted them to the top of the enclosures, i used bike tubbing in between the wood and the fixture for some extra protection. i used the the ballasts from fixtures i already had. it was easy to wire all together with fresh wire i bought.

the heat lamps are just store bought exo-terra lamp that i just mounted.

 

hi im no expert on veild chams but arnt they supposed to be kept inside of one of those netting cages?

 

no not necessarily, as long as there is good ventilation they are fine, half the veild tank in this thing is screen, so she'll be okay.

 

ok almost done, i just need to make the door for the bottom tank

 

looks awsome. i wish i could afford to build something like that.

 

WOW looking very nice, u made good time it seams.

 

thats a great idea!!!! now im looking around at furniture and thinking how it could be turned a cage lol

 

i turned an old tv i found in my grandmas basement into a outdoor enclose for my beardie. ill post pics of it once i get my camera workin.

 

id like to see a pic of that cameron1, iv thougt of turning an old big screen into an enclosure. as for my project it didnt actually cost much...

plexi glass $20
expanding foam $9 (x4)
door trim $15
back board $6
vents $3 (x3)
clear coat $8
stain $6
floresant lighting $30

i had the heat lamps and wood already so i didnt have to buy any.

 

wow that is pritty cheep. The tv isnt anything special i just gutted the whole thing and then took some 1/4 massonite for the back put a little shelf in there with a ramp so he can get on it so he can just bask and catch some real rays outside and a plexi glass front and theres reptile carpet in there. ill post some pictures tomarrow night.

 

It looks like you have sand in there? Im pretty sure Bearded dragons shouldn't have a loose substrate don't know about frilled dragon. Nice job on the project.

 

yea everyone on here has different opinions on sand, iv never had a problem with it impacting my beardies, and i know of alot of people using sand for there dragons also.
